The chicken bastille was very good, lots of flavor. The lentils were good, but a bit blend. Good quantities for the price for these two plates.The big disappointment was the lamb magdhour, which was the main dish. It very very very very hard and chewy. We did take out, so maybe it overcooked in the hot container. If you’re doing take out, avoid it.
What a great place! The food was all delicious, the Mint Tea was the best I've had at a restaurant, and the bread was exactly as it should be.This place is a bit far from the Metro and it's biggest issue is its location, but if you take the time to go here you'll be very pleased with your decision.
We were excited about trying Aicha based on the Google reviews. It did not disappoint! Two of us shared zaalook, an eggplant and pepper appetizer served with house made fluffy bread with a crispy exterior, and lamb couscous. It was just the right amount for two grown adults who didn't want any leftovers. The flavors are similar to a Moroccan restaurant we know well and like in our home city.The prices are reasonable, especially for San Francisco, and the portions are good. Go and try it, and if you bring enough people you can taste more dishes.
A very quiet, little place; at first, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was open. The Moroccan interior design is vibrant for your eyes to explore as you wait for your food. Once ordered, the food came in reasonable time. The lamb is cooked beautifully and the dish on which the food was served was beautiful as well. I intend to visit again.
A fantastic little Moroccan restaurant on Polk street. The prices are affordable and portion sizes are hearty. The flavors are really unique and they use interesting ingredients like lemon confit and saffron. Service is good and the place has a homey yet exotic vibe.We liked the Chicken confit which was cooked in a Tagine pot and which came with the softest yet crunchiest bread. We also got saffron rice which was cooked with olives and peas. The meat was incredibly soft and the lemon confit imparted a subtle tang. The chicken dish was half a chicken and also had olives. Would be incredible on a cold windy day.
What a wonderful small and eclectic restaurant, with a very Mediterranean decor and vibe that's in a convenient location near the cable car terminus on Polk Street. Everything we ordered was amazing, with generous portions, quality ingredients, friendly staff and oh, so flavorful!!Our favorite was the Chicken Bastilla (sometimes called pigeon pie), a light, crispy fluffy pastry shell filled with savory spiced chicken and stuffings, and garnished with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a truly unique blend of flavors. Highly recommended!Also, make sure to try the traditional Moroccan mint tea, we were glad we did.
My boyfriend and I were going to go to House of hummus but it was late at night and we realized they weren't open on Saturdays. So we decided to try moroccan and honestly it was one of the best things I've ever had.The indoor atmosphere is to die for. It was extremely mature and social but not too loud. The setting was extremely gorgeous. Everything was super aesthetic.Definitely a new favorite. The portions are shockingly large too.
The place is small but very cozy. The food is amazing: meat is soft and juicy and steamed with a lot of vegetables. My favorites are chicken Bastillia and Lamb Tagine with prunes and almond.
The restaurant is simple but the quality and taste of the food is beyond delicious. I can't stop going back and trying something new, and so far - for a super picky eater - I haven't been disappointed!
This is the most enjoyable moroccan food I could find in the neighborhood. This hits the spot every time
